Shinzo Abe at US Congress


Published on Apr 29, 2015
 
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called for closer ties between the U.S. and Japan in his address to a joint session of congress Wednesday. Abe also expressed "eternal condolences" for the American lives lost fighting Japan in World War II.

"On behalf of Japan and the Japanese people, I offer with profound respect my eternal condolences to the souls of all American people that were lost during World War II," he said.

"History is harsh. What's done cannot be undone," Abe said recalling his visit to the National World War II Memorial. "With deep repentance in my heart, I stood there in silent prayers".

What causes me to weep?


By Janice McLaughlin

This spring marks the fourth anniversary of the triple disaster that hit the northeast coast of Japan. First, there was a powerful earthquake, followed by a tidal wave or tsunami that swept away people, homes, cars, anything in its path. Then there was the disaster at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima that sent radiation into the air and water, forcing thousands of people to flee the area, abandoning homes, businesses, farms and the comfortable life they had known in a relatively prosperous area.
